Basic Workout Routine for Geeks and Nerds to do at Home

It is time to level up your “Heroes Transformation” my loyal Jerdlings!

Already conquered the Nerd-Core Fitness 101 beginner workouts (Upper Body, Lower Body, Total Body & Ab Workout)? After 3-4 weeks you should be cruising through them with relative ease, and be ready to change things up.

This new series of exercises will keep you on your way to being a real life super-hero! (Let’s be honest; right now you are in fledgling sidekick territory, but you have to start somewhere! And no Robin, please put away the green underoos…)

If you dedicate a little time and couple the program with clean and healthy eating, desire, and some superheroic willpower and you will have the recipe for a Strengthening Solution worthy of Hogwart’s Alchemy class!

How To Track Your Fitness Progress - Write Things Down

There’s one important activity that separates those that succeed at something, from those that don’t.

Whether it’s people who have lost tremendous amounts of body fat, gained serious levels of muscle, developed high levels of athletic prowess, or built successful business and lifestyles for themselves… the specific goal doesn’t really matter.

No matter what they are pursuing there is one important thing that they all seem to do…

They write everything down.

I know that since you are reading TheJerd.com that you are smart, incredibly good looking and all-around awesome but I am going to assume that you’re also serious about making changes to your life to become even more awesomer (Shoosh! It’s my website, I can make that a word if I want to.)

If that’s the case then I truly cannot stress enough the importance of this! This doesn’t mean just watching the scale either, I’m talking about following and keeping track of a plan that helps keep you on the path to success! It’s not easy, but I am here to show you how to track fitness progress.

Let’s get started RIGHT NOW!

How To Warm Up Properly…

… And Avoid Injuries

How To Warm Up Properly to Avoid Injury

We all want to get done with our workouts as quickly as possible.

We have games to play, comic books to read and things we want to accomplish in life and the more time we spend in the gym means less time doing all that fun stuff right?!? I get it…

What we don’t want is a pulled hamstring, bicep or pancreas though! It’s really difficult to lose weight, build muscle, feel better about ourselves, and continue on our path to becoming a real-life superhero if we’re laid up on the couch nursing an injury.

So don’t be that guy who wanders into the gym aimlessly and then plops down on a bench, or a machine, and starts cranking out a workout immediately. I see it all the time, and very often these are the same people who end up never seeing real progress because they either:

Hurt themselves and have to take significant time off of their program
Never perform at their peak because their muscles aren’t primed and ready to go

Luckily, you’re reading The Jerd… and I’m going to keep you straight!

So today, in honor of Rule #6 of the Jerd Herd, we are going to talk about training smart! You’re going to learn why you need to warming up before every workout and how to warm up properly.
